jayway- s'il te plaît is only please. Your sentences are ok but in another context. If he pleases you, ask him to go out with you / s'il te plaît, demande-lui de sortir avec toi, but it doesn't mean please like in the duo sentence. It means if that guy pleases you go out with him. for it : buy this ring if it pleases you / achète cette bague si elle te plaît.

The way words are pronounced creates the contraction. Say" si il" normal speed then get faster and faster. Spanish does similar things like with "a el". If "a el" is pronounced quickly it's essentially "al" so instead of saying "a el" we just say "al" so I guess French isn't alone in the pointless contractions thing.

I know for l'homme its because the h is silent and le homme would be awkward to say. I believe the rule is if the noun sounds like it starts with a vowel, then you used a contraction for le or la. However once you get to plurals, then its les regardless of gender or vowel sounds. I could be wrong, but thats what i remember.

It comes from "si" ("if"), the "i" is elided. "Si il" and "Si ils" are not correct, the right form is "s'il" and "s'ils". ("S'il vous plaît !", "S'il mange alors...", ...). Just like you don't say (and write) "le arbre" but "l'arbre".

s'il te plaît is only please.

in french "vous" is used for plural and for showing respect for example when you talk to a person that you don't khow or old than you. however, if you talk to a friend you can say "tu" or "te" i mean the second person.

I believe that "S'il vous plait" is referring to plural, an elder, or someone higher than you. And from my understanding, "S'il te plait" is a bit more informal. (someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I am still learning

It gets a little "confusing" when the very same frase could be right or wrong just because it is in a diferent exercise. I have used "If you please" many times before and got it right and just in this exercise i got it wrong, the same happens frecuently for other expresions. I wish there were more consistency.

Also an answer for sam.stoerm. s'il vous plait uses the polte/plural form (often called the vous form) s'il te plait uses the informal form (or tu form) . The tu form can only be used for one person (as plural is the vous form polite or informal).

If you ask for something in a shop you use s'il vous plait, if you ask your friend for something s'il te plait

Yes, and also when you're talking to a single person in a formal situation. You'd use "te" if you were talking to your one little brother, but "vous" if you were talking to both your little brothers or to Angelina Jolie.

In formal English it is not uncommon to use the phrase, "If you please" and since this is the formal French "Please", the English "If you please" should be an acceptable translation. Particularly since that is what the phrase translates to.

wonder- s'il te plaît is a neutral expression meaning please accept, or please give me that. You can say si elle te plaît sors avec elle / if she pleases you go out with her. But it has nothing to do with the verb to please / plaire, as a demand such as please, give me that.

angeli- si il, we have to put the contraction because 2 egual vowels are following one another. If means si, pronounced like sea or see. il alone is pronoounced like ILLness. s'il is like still without the T.

S'il vous plait is used when addressing elders, or in a more formal context when you do not have a close relationship with the person or group. S'il te plait is used with family and close friends and is less formal. I hope this helps.
